Hey everyone! I'll most likely be in Davis next year as well. Just wanted to say hi.

Nice to meet you. Why the "most likely" are you still weighing options like I am?

99% sure I will be at Davis. The other 1% would be getting in to UCLA off the waitlist. Not counting on that though. Also, I have a friend who lives in downtown Davis who loves it a lot. Anyone have an opinion regarding downtown?

Ah the WL at UCLA, I feel ya on that one. If I got in off the WL I would jump at that too, but I haven't even received a decision from them yet. OK, well back on track. Downtown Davis seems cute. I think I might get a bit distracted living there though. Is there a strong undergrad feel there?

Not a ton of housing right downtown but it will be expensive and definitely populated with undergrads.

If you can find a roommate, 2 bedrooms in the B St. apartments (around 2nd St. and B St.) are relatively affordable, but hard to come by. There are also a few apartments above some restaurants downtown, but they're pretty expensive. And yeah, there are tons of undergrads biking and walking around (especially Weds-Sat nights due to drink specials at the bars). I still recommend North or South Davis (South Davis is pretty close to downtown-in fact, a lot of apartment complexes are within 10-15 walking distance of downtown).
